Pros: See review
Cons: See review
Summary: Be warned: My title is actually nothing more than a feeble attempt to provide the illusion that this review (which actually concerns the Holmes Parabolic Space Heater) is related to the Presto HeatDish. The relation is tenuous at best (and limited to...

Pros: Portable directed heat for pennies.
Cons: Not as romantic as a roaring fire.

Pros: Energy efficient, doubles as nightlight, direct heat feels good on a cold night.
Cons: Warms only narrow area; makes grinding noise; didn't last for more than two years.
